  1. Dude's form has improved juuuuust a little bit.... here is 2005, when
    he should have been kicked out of the Tour for bringing the sport into
    disrepute with one of the worst time trial performances in history,
    wiping out four times if memory serves (or was it that many bike
    changes?):

    and now, shoulders narrower *and* back way flatter. (Or maybe it's all
    the cow hemoglobin he is injecting.)

    Looks like he was riding a pretty conventional front wheel (no deep
    section!) which probably helped him stay up today, although it also
    seemed like he was going around corners about as slow as any
    noncontender today.-Shayana Kadidal

    He also clearly had a beer gut in 2005.

    Correct, he spendt 4 minuttes of the bike durring that TT and lost 7:47
    to Armstrong, 7:24 to Ulrich, and 5:41 to Evans. Counting out the time
    he was off the bike i 2005 the distance between him and Evans was
    1:41 in the 2005 TT. Interrestingly, yesterday the distance between
    him and Evans where 1:40.

    LIVEDRUNK requires Danish beer reviews.

    LIVEDRUNK is currently scheduled to experience the Heineken Beer
    Experience, which is supposed to be a goofy tourist trap. Too bad.

    LIVEDRUNK is hoping to divert that trip to possibly be a tour of the
    House of Bols instead:

    It appears to be even more impossibly cheesy than the Heineken
    Experience, but with a cocktail theme. And while LIVEDRUNK likes good
    beer, LIVEDRUNK really likes good gin, and thinks that Bols is better
    gin than Heineken is beer.

    Hm. I really hope they haven't actually replaced the traditional Bols
    Blue bottle with this...
